If the Florida panther indeed becomes a separate species, it would have been because of Allopatric speciation because in this type a new species arises due to geographical isolation which prevents gene flow and leads to a new species.
In order to make the smallest monophyletic group that includes the Florida panther and Texas cougars, we must include b. The Eastern cougar. The monophyletic group means a group of animals with a common ancestor so to form a monophyletic group of Florida panther and texas cougars we must include Eastern cougar as they are showing to be originated from a common ancestor.

The following statements apply to concepts and material discussed in Chapter 15; identify which statement is TRUE. Answers: A common ancestor of two species on evolutionary trees can be found at the point where the two branches meet. Humans evolved from Neanderthals about 50,000 years ago. Mitochondrial DNA is not particularly useful when trying to determine the movement pattern of humans historically across the globe. Scientists can estimate when species diverged from a common ancestor by comparing their Karyotypes. We...
